Chatham Village Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 1,913 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.3/10 · range 5.3–5.3

Chatham Village is a one-tract neighborhood of Pittsburgh, PA, population 1,913. The Eviction Risk Score is 5.3/10, in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 45% against 29.3% citywide, putting Chatham Village 16.1% over its own city.

Severe burden reaches 27%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1.1/10.

Court records for this tract carry 76 eviction filings. Filing activity peaked in 2005 at 4.0% of renter households.

Recent filings have not receded much: 2.5% in 2006 against a 4.0% peak. Average gross rent is $1,182, 6% below the Pittsburgh average of $1,261.

That places it #71 of 78 neighborhoods in Pittsburgh. Against average income of $81,618, annual rent is only 17%, a wide affordability cushion. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

36% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
